My son has improved his ball control and learned a few skills from training. He is only 6 years of age and he takes his learning and practices in school playtime. He is able to play with senior members in year 5/6 as they really like the way he plays. Thanks to Samba Soccer

My son has been attending Samba Soccer for over a year. He absolutely loves the sessions each Sunday morning at Chelsea Academy. Coach Brandon in particular has really helped him improve so much over this period of time by not only encouraging but also challenging him to develop his skills. My son now plays for a team as a result of his new found confidence.

Hi Michael,
Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience. We’re delighted to hear how much your son is enjoying the sessions at Chelsea Academy and that Coach Brandon has played such a positive role in his development.
It’s fantastic to know that his confidence has grown to the point where he’s now playing for a team — that’s exactly the kind of progress we love to see!
We really appreciate your support over the past year and look forward to continuing to help him develop and enjoy his football journey.
Many thanks again,

FREE trial lesson with Samba Soccer 4-7…
FREE trial lesson with Samba Soccer 4-7 yrs at 1:30pm, Marshalls Park Academy RM1 4EH (Indoor)
I been with my son 5 years old for a trial lesson, my son is little shy and I would stay with for a few minutes but the coach very aggressive told me to leave my son there and to go in the back! Wich I did, my son started to cry, the lady (second coach tried to discuss with my son hopping is gonna join the team" I appreciate that! But the man "coach aggressive taking my soon and then pushing on the wall told him to stay there.
After seeing that i take my son and my son is affected emotionally told me never come again and hate this football class! I believe the coach for those ages to be more sensible with kids regardless a first day and so. Hopefully no one to be in the situation I was. I don't recommend, maybe other coach be better.

Hi Francisc,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're truly sorry to hear about your experience at the Romford session, especially as it was your son’s first time with us. We understand how upsetting this must have been, and we take concerns like this very seriously.
Following your review, I was grateful to have the opportunity to speak with you directly. As discussed, the Romford venue is independently operated as part of our wider franchise network and is not managed by the central Samba Soccer Schools London team. While this Trustpilot page is intended for feedback relating to the London-managed venues, your experience is important to us, and we do see all venues under the Samba name as part of the same extended family.
We’ve passed your comments on to the Romford team and have asked them to reflect carefully on the situation. Ensuring a positive and supportive environment for all children—especially during their first sessions—is something we expect at every venue operating under our brand.
Thank you again for raising your concerns.
Kind regards,
The SSS Team
The experience we have had with Samba
The experience we have had with the Samba team at Chelsea Academy school in Lots Road has been phenomenal. Big thanks to Toni and Brandon James who has been exceptional in finding time during training to provide recap one to one to the kids there, which helps so much.

My overall experience
Two of my sons go to Samba Soccer School at Elephant & Castle and I must say their football technique, communication, teamwork and listening skills has improved so much. I like how the coaches are friendly, patient and very knowledgeable in football overall. They make sure the kids use the skills which they are teaching on weekly basis.

Welfare issues and improvements required
My children initially enjoyed attending the club hosted at St Pauls Way Secondary School but since Coach George joined it has become a terrible place. My children were shouted at and left traumatised. I have reported this to the police, council and NSPCC.

Dear Amer,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. At Samba Soccer Schools, we always welcome constructive criticism and feedback. However, we believe that your review misrepresents the events that occurred and it is important to provide clarity and context for the benefit of others.
Firstly, you mentioned that the class at the St Paul’s Way School has been “terrible” ever since Coach George joined. It is worth noting that Coach George had only been at the venue for one week prior to your complaint. He was appointed as Venue Manager for that site to ensure our health and safety protocols, safeguarding policies, and operational standards were upheld across all sessions.
Prior to Coach George’s appointment, your children had been attending multiple hours of sessions beyond their registered and paid-for class. While you were booked in for the class from 10:30-11:30am, your children also took part in the class from 12-1pm and 1-2pm. While this was an oversight by a previous coach, it was brought to your attention that this practice could not continue.
Our coaches tried to get in touch with you so your children could be picked up after their designated session had ended, however they were not able to get through to you until 1pm. During this time, they had been asked to sit out, in accordance with the following policies:
1. Safeguarding and insurance requirements: Children not on the register are not covered in case of an accident.
2. Age-appropriate session structures: the 12–1 pm class is exclusively for children aged 4–7, and mixing older children poses safety risks.
3. Fairness to other families on the waiting list: Allowing unregistered participation prevents us from accommodating families who are on the waiting list for the class.
When these policies were enforced, you became verbally abusive toward Coach George and other staff members, with your children present. Multiple coaches confirmed this behaviour, which is not acceptable under any circumstances.
Following your complaint, we conducted a thorough review. Based on our findings, we are confident that Coach George and the team handled the situation professionally and in line with safeguarding protocols. At no point did Coach George shout at or mistreat your children, and we are saddened by the misrepresentation of events in your review.
At Samba Soccer Schools, we take any allegations involving safeguarding extremely seriously and are fully prepared to cooperate with external authorities, including the police, council, or NSPCC, should they choose to investigate. We are confident that our team’s actions were appropriate, transparent, and in the best interests of all children.
We maintain a zero-tolerance policy for abusive or disrespectful behavior toward staff. This policy is outlined in Section 4 of our Terms and Conditions and exists to protect our team and foster a positive environment for all families. Unfortunately, your conduct during this incident left us with no choice but to discontinue your family’s attendance at our sessions.
Despite your misconduct, we had offered to refund you for the remaining two classes of the month, as a gesture of goodwill. It is therefore very disheartening to see that you have since left a negative review misrepresenting the events that occurred.
If you wish to discuss this matter further, please feel free to get in touch directly.
Kind regards,
Ben Marcus

Amazing Coach
My sons attended three different football schools this past summer and Samba was their favourite by far as they felt their coach taught them new skills. I loved Coach Tariq’s enthusiasm and passion for what he does, and he showed genuine care. He pays fulll attention to his class and students which we can't say was true at the other schools we attended. His energy and encouroagement were endless!
Ben on the admin side was also extrmemly patient with my countless questions and responded in great detail with kindness and understanding.
Definitely recommend this school!

We also love how fun the coaches make it for the kids, always engaging and playing games with them.

We hope that their love for the game continues to grow.

Dear Abel,
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We truly value your input and regret that we were not able to meet the needs of your children.
We always want children to progress and learn with us and we are committed to not just improving your children's skills, but their confidence as well. Therefore it is upsetting to hear that you have not seen this improvement.
To have a better understanding of the situation, we would really appreciate it if you could get in touch with us directly. This way, we can work with our coaches to improve the situation, not just for your children, but for all the students in the class that you attend.
As you can see from our other reviews on TrustPilot and on google as well, we pride ourselves on how we are often able to improve children's skills in their time with us. Therefore, it is upsetting to hear that we weren't able to provide this for your children.
We are currently working on building an internal team for children to join once they progress through Samba, with last year being the first year that this was running. We are hoping to grow the teams, so we can have a team available for more age groups and in more areas across London in the near future.
As I previously mentioned, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us, as it would be very helpful for us to understand how we can improve the classes to benefit you and your children.
Many thanks,
Ben Marcus,
Head of Customer Service

Session is excellent for young kids to run around with a ball at their feet. Learning some ball control and tekkers along the way however not ideal for a parent who has aspirations for their child to become a pro footballer. Can be used as an additional football session. Overall great little session for younger kids as an introduction to the sport or top up to other sessions.
